There's been some confusion over where to discuss newer films -- PAN'S LABYRINTH, DARK KNIGHT, the STAR WARS prequels -- after they leave the theatres.
Yes, threads still exist in Current Films, but they are buried and seem out of place given all the new product emerging every week.
Hence this forum.
-- We've recast the 'Recent Decades' forum as a folder for films of the '80s and '90s.
-- The Current Films forum will be just that -- films in theatres.
-- And here we can discuss Films of the 2000s once they hit Blu-Ray, DVD or cable.
Given the lagtime, we've also tilted this forum a bit toward 'Second Takes.' Now that you've seen it again -- or are seeing it for the first time but remember what you had heard about the film -- what do you think about the film now?
Hopefully this will be fun. A discussion can go from 'coming Soon' to 'Current Films' to 'Second Takes', all within a year or so.
Final thought:
We discussed moving a lot of the 2000s films threads from 'Current Films' to here, where discussion could continue. But I think we won't do that.
Instead we can start fresh here. If someone wants to look back in Current Films and see what folks were saying about THE CORE back then, fine. But let's start anew. More energy that way, we hope.
Anyhow, this Forum is now open.
